Welcome to another episode of the Media Boat Podcast. We start with YouTube no longer reporting numbers to Billboard over dispute on how streams are counted. Next, controversy with AI in videogames at Larian Studios and Sandfall Interactive. Later, the Oscar goes to YouTube starting in 2029. We wrap it all up with Sony purchasing a controlling stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC. We also have thoughts on Weapons and our end of the year podcast recordings. All this and more on this weeks episode of the Media Boat Podcast.

W najnowszym odcinku GnM Plus zaczynamy nietypowo, bo od… kącika kulinarnego i tajemnic Lubelszczyzny. Potem przechodzimy do konkretów: opowiadamy o tym, w co ostatnio graliśmy i co oglądaliśmy – w tym o drugim sezonie Fallouta, Total War: WARHAMMER III, The Crew Motorfest oraz Suit for Hire.W części newsowej zastanawiamy się, czy Hogwarts Legacy 2 faktycznie dostanie tryb wieloosobowy, dlaczego wokół twórców Baldur's Gate zrobiło się tak gorąco oraz czy Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 naprawdę traci miano gry roku 2025. Poruszamy też temat możliwego trzeciego dodatku do Wiedźmina oraz plotek o Starfieldzie 2.0. Na koniec – jak zawsze – sekcja komentarzy i Wasze opinie.

This week on The Gaming Duo, we dive into one of the most heated debates in gaming right now: generative AI. Following the Expedition 33 awards controversy, we break down why its Indie Game Awards wins were rescinded, how AI was used during development, and what this means for the future of awards and transparency in the industry. We also discuss Larian Studios' response after CEO Swen Vincke addressed backlash over AI use for early ideation — and where the line should be drawn between innovation and creative integrity.Plus, the gaming news you need to know, including Bungie's Marathon losing its senior art director and Hollow Knight: Silksong receiving a major free DLC expansion.If you're enjoying the show, leave a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and join our Discord community, where friendships are built through gaming.Join The Gaming Duo Discord Server:https://discord.gg/B7YYMvZtZ2

Well, we brought it up last week, and this episode will finalize our series by looking back at the year that was for the three major console makers, as it's now Xbox's turn to get its 2025 Report Card. Sean and Marc go through the highs and lows of Xbox throughout the year, the game releases, and also look ahead to 2026 as the company is already promising a huge year ahead. This also brings us to a sour subject for many gamers, and that's Generative A.I., as Larian Studios and Sandfall Interactive both make news for their uses of it, and should it lead to the retracting of awards and vitriol online. Is the outlook for A.I. all grim? Or can there be some good use cases for it? Sean also has thoughts on the indie game Unbeatable. Marc's played more Ghost of Yotei; join us for the final regular episode of Video Games 2 the MAX for 2025.

As Lord Cognito long predicted, the AI conversation reached a breaking point online when people saw one of the industry's golden children announced that they'll be using generative AI for their game's development. That team is Larian Studios who is responsible for the Divinity franchise alongside the incredible Baldur's Gate 3. The CEO of Larian, Swen Vincke, said that it will be used for mostly pre-production stuff along the lines of whiteboxing or even company e-mails. However, he also let it slip that concept art ideation will be part of that process as an optional tool. Well, social media did not like this at all. It has turned into one of the most split topics to round out 2025. So, where do the Dukes stand? Matty, a longtime critic of AI's usage in development beyond a tool, happens to be a massive Larian fan. Does he bend the knee? What of Lord Cognito who always expected this? Does he blink at such a revelation? Perhaps, it's all overblown. There is a reality where we're years down the line and Larian is on a long list of developers who are all doing the same thing.

Hohoho! Zu Weihnachten bringen wir einen Sack prall gefüllt mit Kontroversen! Seien es Rosinen, Brotgewürz, Minze oder Koriander. Seien es „KI“-Browser, die Nutzung von generativer AI für Concept Art oder Vibe Coding. Man kann auch kontrovers diskutieren, ob das überhaupt Kontroversen sind! Ein paar Nicht-Kontroversen haben wir auch, Weihnachten soll ja schließlich positiv begangen werden: Weltweit wurde zum ersten Mal mit Solar und Wind mehr Energie produziert als mit Kohle, eine wundervolle Nachricht! Und die Association for Computing Machinery stellt ab Januar auf Open Access um, das heißt du, ich, wir alle können ohne Einschränkungen auf alle Veröffentlichungen, Artikel, Papers etc. zugreifen und sie herunterladen. Viel Spaß mit Folge 287 und entspannte Feiertage! (Anm. d. Red.: In einer früheren Fassung wurde nicht vor Minze gewarnt, wir bitten dies zu entschuldigen.)

We start with breaking corporate news as Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to reject Paramount's latest acquisition offer, choosing instead to move forward with its $82.7 billion Netflix deal. If finalized, Netflix would gain control of Warner Bros. Games, including massive IP like Mortal Kombat, DC, Harry Potter, and more. We discuss whether Netflix will license these franchises out—or finally go all-in on games—and what this could mean for the future of AAA development. Next, we look at alarming new data showing US hardware sales and physical game spending just hit their worst November in 30 years. Despite heavy Black Friday promotions, record-high console prices dragged sales down, even as PS5 emerged as the best-selling console for the month. We break down what this says about the future of physical games, hardware pricing, and consumer behavior. Then we tackle the ongoing AI controversy in game development, as Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke responds forcefully to backlash over AI usage following The Game Awards. Vincke makes it clear: artists are not being replaced. We discuss where AI fits responsibly in modern game development—and where players are drawing the line. The episode also covers Bungie's major Marathon update, including a March 2026 release date, revamped visuals, deeper PvE, hardcore gameplay shifts, solo playlists, expanded weapon mod systems, and new lore teases. After months of controversy, Bungie appears to be rebuilding trust—so we ask: Is Marathon finally back on track? And can it stand alongside competitors like Arc Raiders? Plus, listener questions and reactions on Bungie, PlayStation strategy, and shooter fatigue.

Small bomb dropped when indie darling Larian revealed it uses AI in the preproduction and ideation phase of game development. Naturally, opinions deviate strongly, especially because artists have left Larian over their use of AI. In this episode, we discuss Jason Schreier's Bloomberg interview with Larian CEO Swen Vincke. Specifically, we discuss Vincke's quote about how Larian uses AI, and what, if any positive effect it has had. For the full context and a great read - check out the full article here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-12-16/-baldur-s-gate-3-maker-promises-divinity-will-be-next-level It is no secret that neither of us are fans of AI, but I take the devil's advocate position this episode. I do actually think there are spots where AI could help creatives with busy work. (Our problem is: we all know that isn't what AI is targeting.)

Swen Vincke, the CEO of Larian Studios (Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity) has been put on blast by the media and some gamers for admitting to using AI for placeholder art and mockups in the new Divinity game.Is this a massive overreaction? Vincke claims that they're not using AI for final assets, just placeholder graphics.And the truth is -- almost every studio is using AI now. They're just not saying anything about it because of the backlash.Will this pass?Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

We serveren je een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen uit de wereld die videogames heet. Altijd vergezeld van een fijne mening. We blijven immers Gamekings. Jasper zit vandaag vanuit zijn AirBnB 'naast' JJ om een aantal onderwerpen te bespreken. Bijvoorbeeld de rel die is ontstaan na een mededeling van een medewerker van Larian Studios dat ze generative AI gebruiken bij het maken van hun games. Social media stroomde zoals altijd direct vol met pittige meningen. En die hebben wij ook. Want was dit inderdaad een kwalijke zaak die de makers van Baldur's Gate 3 bezigden of een storm in het spreekwoordelijke glas water? Dit onderwerp en meer krijg je te zien en te horen in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 17 november 2025.Studio Baldur's Gate 3 even in zwaar weer door gebruik AIEen ander onderwerp betreft Marathon. De GaaS van Bungie heeft na een eerder uitstel, een nieuwe releasedatum gekregen. Blijkbaar hebben de ontwikkelaar en PlayStation er beiden het volste vertrouwen in dat het nu allemaal goed gaat komen. Wat denken Jasper en JJ ervan? Is deze game de prijs van aanschaf straks waard? Zien de twee heren nog ijsberen op de weg? Het antwoord krijg je in deze video.Hollow Knight: Silksong krijgt gratis DLC in 2026De twee hebben het ook over een aantal kerstcadeaus die eraan zitten te komen. Bijvoorbeeld de gratis DLC die de makers van Hollow Knight: Silksong hebben aangekondigd voor 2026. Of de extra verhalende content die er voor S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Hearts of Chornobyl aan zit te komen. En wat dacht je van het tweede seizoen van Fallout dat vannacht op HBO Max begon. Dat is toch ideaal kijkvoer voor bij de boom of open haard?

Episode Summary This episode is a geek news and trailer roundup with a full IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 finale discussion, plus reactions to the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow teaser and the Netflix live action Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 trailer. We also hit the biggest Game Awards 2025 winners and reveals, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a new Divinity announcement, and first impressions of the Street Fighter movie trailer. Spoiler note: Full spoilers for IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 kick in during the dedicated segment later in the episode. Timestamps and Topics 0:00:00 Intro, holiday check-in, and California fog weather 00:01:22 Question of the Week: Which classic horror movie should become a modern series? 00:05:31 Streaming consolidation talk and why big mergers worry creators and viewers 00:12:08 Far Cry series discussion and what makes the games work as TV 00:17:05 The Game Awards 2025 recap: winners and biggest reveals 00:25:48 Trailer reactions: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow teaser and Lobo glimpse 00:32:52 Trailer reactions: Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, Toph, Azula, bending rules 00:39:25 IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 spoiler discussion and finale thoughts 00:49:28 What's next: Season 2 (1935) and Season 3 (1908) setting breakdown 00:53:03 Ratings and recommendations, plus network updates and wrap-up Key Takeaways The show dives into how streaming consolidation could impact jobs, creativity, and what viewers pay. Far Cry feels like a perfect TV sandbox if it nails the villain and the escalating rebellion vibe. The Game Awards conversation focuses on what looks exciting now versus what might be years away. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow looks like it's keeping the comic's tone and trauma-driven edge front and center. Netflix Avatar Season 2 has the ingredients, but the details matter, especially Toph's presentation and Azula's intensity. IT: Welcome to Derry sticks the landing for the crew, and the back-in-time structure could keep future seasons fresh. Memorable Quotes "Merging in the end makes a small amount of people rich." "That is such a devious strategy. You almost got to respect it." "How does this story about Pennywise make me feel feelings?" "I need to see bloodbending."

This Week: We’re covering all the biggest premieres, announcements, and winners from The Game Awards 2025, gaming’s biggest night of the year. Highlights include a Control Resonant sequel, Resident Evil Requiem, two new Star Wars games, and surprise reveals from studios like Crystal Dynamics, Larian Studios, and Bad Robot Games, among many others. Plus, Synth Riders officially lands on Nintendo Switch, and we’re joined by Kluge Interactive’s Arturo and Abraham Aquero to talk about bringing the hit rhythm VR game to a new platform, including what new artists and features fans can expect!

On this week's Random Encounter, we're chatting about gaming's biggest night: The Game Awards 2025!But before we get to all the reveals (and actual awards, I guess), we want to talk to Zek about the new Octopath Traveler game that was just released, Octopath Traveler 0! This entry, adapted from the mobile-only gacha game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, turns a lot of the conventions of Octopath on their heads, featuring over 30 characters instead of eight and including a massive town-building mechanic.After that, it's all about The Game Awards! There were some big announcements this year, including a long-awaited sequel to Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. We also have Larian Studios revealing their follow-up to Baldur's Gate III, Divinity, with one of the more disturbing trailers in recent memory. There is so much news, but our panel is ready to chat about it all (and Jono is ready to talk about how Blue Prince was robbed)!Featuring: Jono Logan, Hilary Andreff, Mike Salbato, and Zek Lu; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Octopath Traveler 0 ReviewStar Wars: Fate of the Old Republic AnnouncedLarian Studios Reveals New Divinity GameLords of the Fallen II Gets First Gameplay TrailerClair Obscur: Expedition 33 Drops ‘Thank You' Update

In today's Daily Fix:Casey Hudson, director of the just-announced Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, is assuring fans that the game will be out before 2030. This comes after some on social media are guessing the game won't be about until then, which isn't too wild of a guess considering Hudson's new studio was just formed this past summer, and the long development times of Triple-A games these days. There's also the KOTOR remake, which was announced in 2021 and has seemingly been stuck in development hell since then. In other news, Larian Studios just dropped a new update for console versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2. The game is now optimized for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, as well as Nintendo Switch 2. The next game in the series, titled Divinity, was just announced at least week's Game Awards. And speaking of, Phantom Blade Zero made a splash at The Game Awards with a new trailer, but if you're an Xbox or Nintendo fan, don't expect the game to launch side-by-side with the PS5 version. Phantom Blade Zero is a PS5 exclusive for at least one year.

Es waren wieder die großen Keighley-Awards und der Sieger des Abends… Geoff Keighley! Abgesehen davon hat wie erwartet Clair Obscur – Expedition 33 mit 9 Gameys und damit sogar einen Rekord aufgestellt. Auch sonst war es ganz unterhaltsam, wenn auch recht sparsam mit den Highlights außer natürlich Control Resonant. Dringend: Wenn ihr den Editor Notepad++ nutzt, müsst ihr unbedingt ein MANUELLES Update auf Version 8.8.9 machen. In früheren Versionen war der Updater kompromitiert und konnte unbemerkt Schadsoftware auf euren PC laden. Ziele waren wohl vor allem Unternehmen in Ostasien, Privatanwender sollten daher wenig zu befürchten haben. Genauere Details gibt es in den verlinkten Quellen. Daneben haben wir uns einen Bericht von Consumer Reports zur Zuverlässigkeit von gebrauchten Autos und dazu den TÜV-Report 2026: In beiden schneidet besonders Tesla schlecht ab. AMD hat FSR Redstone veröffentlicht: Updates für Upscaling und Frame Generation, außerdem die neuen Features Ray Regeneration und Radiance Caching. Das gibt es leider alles nur für Radeon RX 9000 bzw. RDNA 4. Auch FSR 4 bleibt weiterhin (offiziell) exklusiv für RDNA4-Grafikkarten. Viel Spaß mit Folge 286!

Ben has lots to say about his last day at PAX this year, from meeting an actual Larian Studios cosplaying brand ambassador on the streets of Seattle to another first-time purchase. He even conducted an interview that was so much fun, he forgot to press the record button! Ben also had a chance to talk with an assorted variety of folks: developers, PR specialists, CEOs, Twitch streamers, and a ghostwriter of mysteries turned game designer. To close out the program, Ben contemplates his plans for the show next year and provides another bonus game review for your external auditory meatuses!   ***   00:01:33 - Meeting Karlach (Autumn Ivy) on Pike Street on the way to the PAX venue https://autumnivyofficial.com/ https://autumnivy.com/ https://www.youtube.com/autumnivy 00:03:02 - Stopping at the Pahdo Labs booth to play Starlight Re:Volver booth and meet Anna  https://starlightrevolver.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMCOHUy3HQg https://store.steampowered.com/app/3201010/Starlight_ReVolver/ https://www.youtube.com/@imAnnaMolly 00:08:37 - Interview with Isael Huard, Co-Founder and CEO of Caldera Interactive about their game The Rabbit Haul https://calderainteractive.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF7MV9Cjp08 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2514330/The_Rabbit_Haul/ 00:17:43 - A quick introduction to ALX Theory LLC's game Swordai by Starfall PR CEO Pieter Van Hurst https://starfallpr.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VB4QoIEglQ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321890/Swordai/ 00:20:33 - Memoria Wake - developed and published by Team Crescendo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTiSb1SEAAA https://store.steampowered.com/app/3240610/Memoria_Wake/ 00:23:02 - Fallen Tear: The Ascension, developed by Winter Crew Studios and published by CMD Studios https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJrElEyAOL0 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1446900/Fallen_Tear_The_Ascension/ 00:25:10 - Popping by the A Corgi's Cozy Hike booth to say hello to Johnson Do and Daniel Scalise https://scalisco.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOugyq_-W_I https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321250/A_Corgis_Cozy_Hike/ 00:28:03 - Playing the Terrible Lizards demo brought to you by WDR Studios LLC https://www.terriblelizardsgame.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv3AB6d1WC4 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2920220/Terrible_Lizards/ 00:31:19 - No Stone Unturned from Wise Monkey Entertainment https://www.wisemonkey.gg/nostoneunturned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPu6cY9z8u4 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2453640/No_Stone_Unturned/ 00:35:17 - Numskull Designs' Quarter Arcade Cabinets https://numskull.com/collections/quarter-arcades 00:37:46 - Bookending the show with another first… a Stylin' Box purchase https://stylinboxes.com/ 00:39:40 - Meeting Twitch streamer Pedakin, and Ben's postmortem and plans for next year https://linktr.ee/Pedakin https://www.twitch.tv/pedakin https://www.instagram.com/pedakin/ https://www.youtube.com/Pedakin   BONUS REVIEW 00:44:25 - A review of Copycat from Spoonful Of Wonder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTkBuiiQZn4 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1622350/Copycat/   ***   Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On Substack: https://twovaguepodcast.substack.com/ On Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/twovaguepodcast.com   For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com -AND-  …for all of your PRI and 2VP merch, check out the Partly Robot Industries store at TEEPUBLIC! https://www.teepublic.com/user/partly-robot-industries   ***   References, Links, and Tags #Podbean #DIYPodcast #ApplePodcast #VideoGames #Trivia #Comedy #Talkshow #2VP #TwoVaguePodcast #PodernFamily #InterviewShow #GamersofThreads #Gamer #PartlyRobot #PartlyRobotIndustries #TeePublic #ImaginaryGameStudios #AutumnIvy #ImAnnaMolly #PahdoLabs #StarlightReVolver #CalderaInteractive #TheRabitHaul #ALXTheoryLLC #Swordai #StarfallPR #MemoriaWake #TeamCrescendo #FallenTearTheAscension #WinterCrewStudios #ACorgisCozyHike #Scalisco #WDRStudiosLLC #NoStoneUnturned #WiseMonkeyEntertainment #NumskullDesigns #QuarterArcade #StylinBox #Pedakin #Copycat #SpoonfulOfWonder 

This month on Currently Playing, Daniel is joined by Jonathan (not that one) to talk about the intersectionality of video games and table top role playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Penumbra City, Blades in the Dark, Vampire the Masquerade and more. And what better way to frame this TTRPG discussion than by discussing the video game Baldur's Gate 3 which uses Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition as the basis of the gameplay? Peppered throughout the chat are comparisons between "real" D&D and the videogame version, along with stories from table top campaigns and the campaign presented by Larian Studios. There are some spoilers for story beats in Acts 1 and 2 of Baldur's Gate 3, but since Jonathan hasn't finished Act 2 yet, we avoid Act 3 entirely.0:00:00 - Welcome to the Show, Jonathan!0:09:10 - What Are You Playing?

In this episode of the Day One Patch Podcast, we kick things off with a Video Game Fun Fact all about the Pocket Pikachu, Nintendo's quirky pedometer-based handheld companion from the late '90s.We then break down Call of Duty's latest move to restore its grounded identity by cutting carry-forward skins in Black Ops 7. Treyarch says it's about keeping the game “immersive and visceral,” but fans are divided after losing their crossover cosmetics. We also look at Microsoft and Asus' surprising decision to announce the ROG Xbox Ally X release date—without revealing its price—blaming shifting “macro-economic” conditions.In Query Corner Lite, we cover Larian Studios' sharp criticism of the gaming industry, pointing to ballooning budgets, long dev cycles, and publishers playing it safe instead of taking risks.

In today's Daily Fix:BioShock 4 has been a long time coming, and it might be even longer. The game has reportedly failed an internal review at publisher 2K, prompting a leadership shake-up at developer Cloud Chamber Games. A rumored remake of the original BioShock has also reportedly been canceled. Over at Larian Studios, the developer is celebrating the second anniversary of Baldur's Gate 3, and is teasing their next project, which is not DnD related. And finally, Nintendo is re-committing to the 2025 release window for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The game will be playable at this year's Fan Expo in Canada.

[School of Everything Else 2025] One of the most ambitious projects for our podcast to date, this commission required the purchase of a PlayStation 5 and presents myself, Sharon and our teenager Willow with a massive and exceptionally dense and rich 80-hour tabletop-style RPG to battle through... each on our own individual quests. To that end, this is the first of three shows covering the celebrated 2023 game by Larian Studios. The second is a session the three of us recorded the day after this one, covering more of our extensive notes and experiences, and the third is yet to be recorded at the time of release, but will entail bringing in many guests to talk about their personal adventures and the endgame. These initial two cover mostly the first act of three, as it makes sense to give us all a big chunky meal to chew over, but save dessert for last. It is relatively spoiler-free, as Sharon and I have no idea what's going to happen in the future and Willow, who has actually completed the game and raced up behind us in a second playthrough, is considerate enough to hold off on blabbing about big impending shifts in character arcs. To that end you can listen to these first two, having never played the game, and familiarise yourself with the often-daunting range of possibilities that this quite extraordinary game holds. Many thanks to backer Sarah Montgomery, without whom there is no way this trio of shows would have been made.

On today's Daily Fix, the founder of Akane Studios, creators of Dishonored and Prey, and the now President at Weird West developer, WolfEye Studio called Xbox Game Pass unsustainable in a thread of posts on social media where a debate over the pros and cons of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass for gamers and developers ensued. Other devs like, Joe Kainer, former VP of Biz Dev Epic Games and Michael Douse, publishing director at Baldur's Gate 3 developer, Larian Studios also joined the conversation to back him up.

We're back with Season Three! In this season opener, we dive deep into the relationship between UI/UX design and storytelling with Kat Craig, a talented UI/UX designer who has contributed to some major titles in the gaming world. Kat walks us through her career journey—from graphic design to breaking into the gaming industry—and shares how the user interface and user experience impact player immersion, engagement, and emotional connection to the game's narrative. We discuss the importance of creating seamless experiences for players, how UI elements can be used to enhance storytelling (think of games like Fallout with diegetic UI elements), and how to balance complexity with accessibility. Kat also shares her insights on collaborating with other disciplines—narrative, art, and design teams—to ensure that the player's journey through a game is intuitive and enriching. Key Takeaways: The essential role of UI/UX design in enhancing narrative experience. How the graphical design elements and environmental design can amplify storytelling. Insights into the balance between complexity and accessibility for diverse player bases. Real-world examples from Kat's work, including contributions to Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3. How networking, internships, and personal projects can help aspiring designers break into the industry. If you're a storyteller, game designer, or just someone curious about the behind-the-scenes work in game development, this episode will offer valuable insights that bridge the gap between design and narrative.

As expected, the Xbox Developer_Direct is set to arrive soon and it will boast four games. Those titles are South Of Midnight, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and a mysterious fourth game that's rumored to be from a "legendary Japanese IP." Naturally, the Dukes have many guesses about that, but also if there will the be usual fifth game that shows up like it has since Developer Direct became a thing. We won't have to wait long to find out. What we'll need to wait a while for is if Xbox will survive beyond 2030. No, that's not hyperbole. Outlet The Information reports that the Xbox business was set to shutdown in 2021 unless Game Pass subscriptions went up. What the rest of the write-up depicts are spooky times for the Green Team as it seems more and more like these moves by Xbox are more for survivability. Oblivion Remake continues to be a horribly kept secret, so we get into some new gameplay details on that, and also into what's going on with Ubisoft as Assassin's Creed Shadows sees another delay. You can get all of that, plus your weekly throat coat, all here on Defining Duke!
